McRaven used evidence that was believable and relevant to his argument it was not towards his audience. He was speaking to a graduating class of a university and many of those students could not relate to his experiences since the majority were studying and not training in the Military. He also mentioned some places and people who not everyone knows exactly what their significance was. He also did not orally cite any person or information every piece of evidence used in the speech was derived from his own personal experience. However Admirable William H. McRaven did explain every point he made in his speech and he also did not use any logical fallacies. He also used pathos and ethos quite significantly in his speech. Dressing up in his uniform and relating stories that expressed his endurance and accomplishment in the Navy allowed him to be able to build his credibility and make his audience respect him more as a person which allowed them to receive his information easier. He used pathos quite frequently in his speech by narrating his personal experiences when he was training to be a member of SEAL. His stories evoked feelings of endurance, perseverance, and effort in his audience which allowed him to motivate his audience into doing what his original thesis was. Overall I personally believe that his speech was extraordinarily astonishing and was able to completely accomplish his desired purpose for the speech this is why I would give him a 9 out of 10 rating. He was able to connect with the audience using pathos and ethos, he was also able to explain all of his main points which all supported his argument effectively, and he also kept the audiences attention through out the entire speech. I would not give him a 10 out of 10 because he needed to improve on making his speech more targeted towards his audience and he had some things he could have explained more
